Ministries

Beautiful Gate, Glasgow is able to function largely due to the selfless commitment of our workers and volunteers, popularly referred to as our “workforce”, who give their time to run various departments and ministries during the week and at the various activities that take place over each weekend and at other times. The activities of these volunteers are coordinated by a leadership structure made up of pastors, deacons, ministers and heads of various departments and ministries.

The church’s administrative activities are coordinated from within the church office, where a dedicated team of staff function under clearly defined sections and divisions geared towards meeting the objectives of the organisation.

Our ministries are designed to cater for specific needs of members of the church and the community.

RCCG Beautiful Gate, Glasgow’s Junior church has a thriving children’s work on Sundays and as well as lots of special events during the year. On Sundays, the children are assisted to learn about the Holy Bible, the parables and stories in it and friendship with Jesus Christ while studying. They listen to children music and see movies of bible stories either via projectors or television set.

Our activities on Sundays in the Junior church include times of Praise and prayer, questions and answers, craft, drama, and games. We build a sense of relationship and friendliness in the Junior Church so that the children can relate well with their tutors and mates for support and fun. “We also encourage the children to tell their friends about Jesus, through the parables he thought and all the miracles he performed. We host regular parties for members’ birthdays on Sundays, and non-church friends come around to have a memorable taste in the celebration.

The Power House

The Power House is the Prayer Ministry of Beautiful Gate, Glasgow. The Christian life is anchored on prayers which forms a vital part of our communion with God. There is a common saying that Jesus started and ended His earthly ministry with prayers. We therefore strive to make greater commitment to this vital part of our daily walk with Christ our Lord.

What is prayer? Prayer is simply just talking to God. It is one of the greatest tools one can have, because it opens the door to a dialogue with God. Praying is like talking to your best friend! It’s easy and not complicated. The Power House is here to give you more information on How to pray, Why you should pray, When to pray and much more… We also share practical examples on the resulting effects of prayer and reflection of Prayer on your relationship with God.

The Power House is open for prayers every Monday from 6:30pm to 7.30pm, while the Church Hall is open for personal prayers and meditations from 1:00pm to 2:00pm, every day of the week apart from Mondays and Sundays.

It is easy to misunderstand prayer, how to use it, and its purpose and function. Regardless of what one prays for, prayer has only one true function. Regardless of what one seeks, God is the only Source, and your prayer opens the door to Him. If you would like us to pray with you, please email your prayer requests to powerhouse@beautifulgateglasgow.org.
